Pain Medicine and Pain Management

Personalized acute and chronic pain management for improved quality of life

Overview

Anyone who has experienced acute pain following an injury, illness, nerve involvement or other cause, or who suffers chronic pain – ongoing, daily pain lasting more than six months – knows it is a serious problem.

At Mercy Health — Pain Medicine, we know that your pain is real and can restrict your lifestyle. We will work with you to achieve as much relief from pain as possible, allowing you to function as normal as possible. This starts with reviewing your clinical history provided by your doctor(s), and also may include diagnostic tests, lab work, a physical or neurological assessment, or a psychological evaluation.

Once we diagnose the cause of your pain, we create a personalized, holistic and multifaceted plan to treat it. Your treatment depends on your unique condition, the actual cause of pain, and how you’ve responded to other treatments.

Why Choose Mercy Health?

At Mercy Health, we use a multidisciplinary approach to treat patients in chronic or temporary pain with the goal of reducing their discomfort, improving quality of life and increasing activity levels. Our treatments are tailored to the individual, since an approach that works for one patient may not work for another. Some patients may even be evaluated and receive a procedure the same day, resulting in less time off work.
